Marc wrote you. Check /boot folder for intrd-2.6.18-xen.img presence.
It' s just names mismatching or you didn't install initrd  into /boot.

Do you think there is some problem with the way I did the
installation ? Wrongly created the initrd file ??
are the /etc/fstab and the device.map entries are in sync with the grub/menu.lst
and please find the config file attached if that is required.

You are right. Only third file missing. My mistake.

grub found no such file /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18.8-xen on (hd0,0)...
typo in filename?

on grubs prompt a "ls (hd0,0)/boot" should show what grub can load and
what not...
